Christmas performance



This past Tuesday Cadyn had his first school performance. I was more nervous than he was. He is so used to being on stage with Jeff at Forest Home I didn't know what he would do. I thought he might take over the stage and make up his own hand motions like at Indian Village. Well he did great. He stood still, smiled, sang nice and loud and even bowed at the end. (He went to Jeff concert the night before and saw him bow after each song). I was a proud mom.
Hey if you are checking my blog would you leave me a message so I know if anyone is reading. Thanks!

Pile of leaves





A few days ago I came home from the store and found Jeff and the boys a few houses down playing in the leaves. They had so much fun jumping and playing together.

Cadyn's 4th birthday


Well Cadyn turns 4 tomorrow. We had his birthday party today. We chose a Curious George theme. It was so much fun. He is such a sweet boy. He really loves life. He was excited about every aspect of the party. We made pretend binoculars which he is wearing around his neck in the pictures. When kids got to the party he made sure to pass them out to everyone. Before the party Jeff was helping Cadyn get his clothes changed. I peeked in the door and asked Jeff to talk to Cadyn about being thankful for gifts and to remember to use his manners. As the guests arrived Cadyn would say to them "Grandma Grable thank you so much for coming to my party". It was so sweet and so sincere. Then it came time to open gifts and after he opened each gift he said, "Wow this is what I have always been wishing for." It was so fun to see some of our hard work paying off. When he finally was in bed at night he was having a hard time laying in bed while his new toys were sitting just a few feet away from him. I said this was such a fun day wasn't it. To which he replied Mommy I just don't want it to end. What a great day!!!
